Capacity of SD card

[cestode]

This very new newbie has just installed a 256 SD card into Axim 3. It works.But how can I confirm the memory size or do I just trust the label on the packet?

To check the capacity of your card you can:

Tap: START/SETTINGS/SYSTEM/MEMORY/STORAGE CARD

Then select STORAGE CARD from the pull down.

At the top will be the Total Storage Card Memory:

I have a 128mb Sandisk SD, it reports it as a 120.03 MB card

I hope this helps.

My 256MB Lexar reports as about 243MB... it's all 'cause of the sloppy definition of a MB the memory card manufacturers use....

Either:

1MB = 1024KB = 1048576B <-- this is what it shoudl be
1MB = 1024KB = 1024000B
1MB = 1000KB = 1000000B <-- this is the height of cheekyness if you ask me, but probably most common.

The computer / PDA will always use the top defninition, hence the discrepancy between the size it says on the card and the size reported...
1MB = 1000K = 1024KB
